Days of “exceptionally dangerous” fuel protests are putting activists and officers at “unacceptable” risk of harm as the number of arrests are set to top 350, Essex Police have said.

Activists from Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion have been blocking access to oil terminals in Essex, demanding that the government stops new oil and gas projects.
